Yeah it sounds good doesn't it Terry? Your system though means just what it says, a handicapping system, but whatever you did you could only win (or lose) the same division as you started the season in, my idea means that you can leap up a division (or even 2 if you are REALLY REALLY good) in the same season - if you get the proscribed number of points ahead you leap up and then take over the remaining fixtures of the lowest team. If this happens you have to be good to firstly, get yourself out of the relegation zone and secondly, beat teams who are, by definition, a whole division better than the players you started the season with.
A roller coaster yes, but that would bring some excitement back into the game - watching the league tables and thinking you may be promoted this weekend if you win and so & so lose etc etc - or how about watching a team in the league below you go 9 then 12 points clear, knowing you are on the bottom of the league? You may be going down to a place at the top with a 15 point lead, but if you are that crap then you may well not manage to get back up, but you will at least have had the best chance.

Think of all the arguments about if the handicapping was fair, all the excitement as the Derby's & QPR's of the world clung desparately on to their false League positions. I think it would be great. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
